    UK consumers will have chlorinated chickens shoved down their throat

    US trade secretary speaks to the CBI

    A major hindrance are those pesky EU labeling regulations. Once they're out the way then Waitrose and Tescos will simply put the same warm fuzzy green eco labels on chlorine washed chickens as they do on those pampered disease free "run around the farmyard" chickens from the EU. No need to upset consumers by listing all the sh*te that goes into your food.

    If they do "unfairly" label chickens so that UK consumers don't buy them, they'll sue the sh*t out of the retailers.

      Gun regulations are a bit tighter in the UK than the US would like. Everyone should have a gun. Why should anyone with a mental health issue be discriminated against.

        When I was last in the US I ate chicken. Couldn't taste any chlorine.

            How tasteless American food makes you fat and sick

            For Europeans, eating is a pleasurable experience. For Americans, it is an activity fraught with anxiety and guilt.

              My comments to an American about their food was that their must be a company called Food Inc that puts powder in one end a a machine and an extruder pumps out food in various shapes and colours the other end. It all tastes the same.

              The best food I had in LA was from a Mexican greasy spoon that made fresh home-made food.

                On my one trip to America the food, coffee and beer generally was awful. In the US you eat to stay alive.

                  Some of the best food I had in America was at Disney.... some of their 'fine dining' experiences are actually quite good...

                  chick-fil-a was a big disappointment

                  large mcdonalds meals are really big!

                  was going to go to Denny's and cracker barrel but never got round to it!

                    That your choice of venue speaks volumes.
